In a mobile network, a gateway intercepts data sent from a network resource to a user's browser application. The gateway injects a client-side script into this data before forwarding it to the user's device. This script executes within the user's browser. Based on the script's execution, the user equipment (UE) sends information back, which the gateway uses to create a traffic handling rule. This rule is then applied to control the user's data traffic, including settings for bandwidth, parental controls, enabling/disabling applications or services, and setting time-based bandwidth schedules. The data intercepted by the gateway comes as a response to a request from the user equipment.
19. The gateway according to claim 15 , wherein the client interface script is implemented by a client-side language to be executed in the browser application of the user equipment.
In the gateway described above (for injecting a client-side script into data being sent to a user's browser), the client interface script is written in a client-side language (e.g., JavaScript) that can be executed natively within the user's browser application. A gateway in a mobile network establishes a packet data connection with user equipment. The gateway has interfaces for communicating with a web server and the user equipment. It receives data intended for the user's browser from the web server and injects a client-side script into this data. It then sends the modified data to the user equipment, where the script executes. The gateway intercepts data sent from a network resource to a user's browser application. Based on the script's execution, the user equipment (UE) sends information back, which the gateway uses to create a traffic handling rule. This rule is then applied to control the user's data traffic. The data intercepted by the gateway comes as a response to a request from the user equipment.
20. The method of claim 1 wherein the traffic handling rule defines the traffic bandwidth for the user equipment so that the gateway controls a bandwidth of the data traffic of the user equipment in accordance with the bandwidth defined by the traffic handling rule that is generated on the basis of information received from the user equipment that is based on execution of the client interface script at the user equipment.
The method described above (where the gateway injects a client-side script into data being sent to a user's browser and sets up a traffic handling rule) specifies that the traffic handling rule should define the traffic bandwidth for the user equipment. The gateway controls the data traffic's bandwidth according to the rule, which is generated based on information received from the user equipment after the execution of the injected client-side script. In a mobile network, a gateway intercepts data sent from a network resource to a user's browser application. The gateway injects a client-side script into this data before forwarding it to the user's device. This script executes within the user's browser. Based on the script's execution, the user equipment (UE) sends information back, which the gateway uses to create a traffic handling rule. This rule is then applied to control the user's data traffic, including settings for bandwidth, parental controls, enabling/disabling applications or services, and setting time-based bandwidth schedules. The data intercepted by the gateway comes as a response to a request from the user equipment.
21. The method of claim 9 wherein the traffic handling rule defines the traffic bandwidth for the user equipment.
In the method described above (where a policy controller dictates a client-side script for insertion and generates traffic handling rules), the traffic handling rule defines the bandwidth allocated to the user equipment. In a mobile network, a policy controller receives an indication of data being sent to a user's browser from the gateway (the data being a response to a request from the user equipment). The policy controller determines a client-side script to be injected into the data. The policy controller sends an identifier of this script to the gateway. The gateway then inserts the corresponding client-side script into the data. The policy controller then receives information generated by the user's device when the script is run. The policy controller generates a traffic handling rule based on the received information and sends that rule to the gateway, which enforces it, controlling bandwidth, parental control settings, and application access and scheduling.
22. The gateway of claim 15 wherein the traffic handling rule defines the traffic bandwidth for the user equipment so that the gateway controls a bandwidth of the data traffic of the user equipment in accordance with the bandwidth defined by the traffic handling rule that is generated on the basis of information received from the user equipment that is based on execution of the client interface script at the user equipment.
The gateway described above (designed to inject client-side scripts and control user traffic) is configured such that the traffic handling rule dictates the traffic bandwidth allocated to the user equipment. The gateway enforces the bandwidth defined by this rule, which is derived from information provided by the user equipment following the execution of the injected client-side script. A gateway in a mobile network establishes a packet data connection with user equipment. The gateway has interfaces for communicating with a web server and the user equipment. It receives data intended for the user's browser from the web server and injects a client-side script into this data. It then sends the modified data to the user equipment, where the script executes. The gateway intercepts data sent from a network resource to a user's browser application. Based on the script's execution, the user equipment (UE) sends information back, which the gateway uses to create a traffic handling rule. This rule is then applied to control the user's data traffic. The data intercepted by the gateway comes as a response to a request from the user equipment.
23. The gateway of claim 16 wherein the traffic handling rule defines the traffic bandwidth for the user equipment.
In the policy controller described above (which dictates client-side script insertion and traffic handling rules), the traffic handling rule specifically defines the traffic bandwidth for the user equipment. A policy controller in a mobile network, connected to a gateway that handles packet data for user equipment, receives an indication from the gateway of data being sent to a user's browser. The policy controller determines a client-side script that should be inserted into this data and sends the ID of that script to the gateway. The gateway then injects the corresponding script. The policy controller receives information generated by the user equipment running the script, generates a traffic handling rule based on this information, and sends the rule to the gateway for enforcement. The data comes as a response to a request from the user equipment.
